Re-Add the APC and speedmerge Movielike Dropship Airlocks, and SLIGHTLY change the dropships design to be more like the UD-4

(Preface; This is in acid goop for a reason - It is a shitpost, and should be taken as such)
After staring at the Github PR list for ten hours straight, I noticed something… peculiar: Dropship Airlocks, Dropship Movielike-isation, Almayer Lighting Power Reduction #8314

I could not believe my eyes… a SOUL PR, on the CM-SS13 PvP codebase? Oh my. I feel it required- no, MANDATORY to list off some grievances I (And, I can only assume, many others) have with the PvP codebase, that could easily be fixed by merging the entirety of the PvE codebase - Lets begin, shall we?

  1. The APC - Or lack thereforth.
    ‘B-B-B-But… The APC… it… it shot me… and killed me as an alien…’
    You know what was the main point of Aliens? The bad-assery of the bad-ass marines. I don’t recall it focusing on a group of aliens and their struggle against the universes ultimate badasses, unfortunately I didn’t watch past the Dropship Crew Chief closing the cargo bay doors and taking off, but I’m sure that that nothing bad happened to the marines :). As an alien, you are a DISPOSABLE BACKGROUND CHARACTER. The lifespan of an alien should be timed with the lifetime of a matchstick; Seconds.
    The ARC is proof that the Marines crave a car. Why not give them a car? I mean, we already have a population-locked tank, so why not an APC?

  2. The ‘AUD-25s’ are Stupid: Heres why,
    Change the AUD-25 to the UD-4 (because the UD-4 is soul) and wow, the game is instantly better. Make dropship transport times realistic (~seven minutes). Make it MANDATORY to have to say cool shit like ‘Standby to initiate release sequencer’ and ‘We’re in the pipe, fiiiive by five!’ and other such stuff as dropship pilots.
    Oh, and don’t get me started on the Normandy not having roundstart night vision. I can’t think of any reason as to why a COMBAT GUNSHIP would not have night-vision capabilities, or an attack against the gunship that would damage the night-vision, but leave the rest of the ship intact.
    ‘Erm… Its… its clearly… balance…’
    Is it? Is it really? Is CAS not balanced by the fact that 5/10 gun-runs end in friendly casualties? Need I remind you, XENOMORPHS ARE BACKGROUND CHARACTERS.

  3. HEAP? More like… Nothing…
    Why don’t the marines have HEAP? ‘Oh… there was a CLF-’ What am I? Some kind of NERD? Do you expect me to READ THE WIKI? God. What about the M83A2 SADARs? ‘Oh well the Almayer got-’ SHUT UP! Thats BULLSHIT lore! The Almayer should be FULLY ARMED! Whoever decided otherwise is WRONG!

  4. Our uniforms look weird.
    The uniform changes on PvE are amazing - we should just ditch our current sorry excuses for uniforms for the PvE uniforms. Why? Because they look nicer.

  5. The Movie.
    As I haven’t seen the movie past Spunkmeyer closing the dropships doors, I can only assume that the mission went well.

  6. Casio: A misrepresentation.
    ‘Cheap digital watch’. Really? For DECADES, Casio has been know as a reliable watch manufacturer. Oh, and to make matters worse? Its not even the watch Ripley wears in Alien. LRP, FRP, non-movielike… *smh

‘When you code/sprite it’
Do you expect ME to know how to code and or sprite? I’m not smart, nor cool. All I can do is write a guide for four five months and still not release it.

‘Just play PvE, man’.
I never roll :frowning:

yet ANOTHER forums post sent two minutes too early due to having NUMLOCK on. :pensive: Any edits are stuff I meant to add, but couldn’t due to time.

my friend said that if a xeno was sticking its head in the door of the ARC while it was closing and stopped it he would simply wrap his ham fists around its carapace and crush its exoskeletal skull in a sickening instant. personally I believe him and think we should make this canon as the regular CM experience to get closer to the movie’s realism factor.

Fuck yeah! I got my Casio AE1300 about a year and a half ago and it survived a ~15m drop off the ledge of a carpark (I was trying to do some photography) with just a scratch on the front plastic! I sadly lost the F91Ws my grandather used to have :frowning:

I miss when APC was first added, the people went fucking bananas, because we had asked for it for so many years and practically prayed to the destroyed APC on sulaco it was like a religious epiphany, I dont even care if the apc is good or not it is pure soul

Even adding a destroyed APC (Like on the USS Kurtz) would be sick as fuck. Just like, it existing aboard the Almayer.

When I think of the Aliens franchise I think of their sick-ass kick-ass bad-ass armored vehicles.
Anyways, ARC should be roundstart and have more space, and not have the weird sensor tower thing and it should have different modules that can be put on it- Wait sorry I’m just describing the M577 APC.
